To the person who stole our farmers market truck: may you drink mouthfuls of red tide water, come down with vibrio vulnificus, cut your thumb off with a shucking knife, and may barnacles foul your water intake.

Hi folks! This might be our last open farm so please come on down. We’ll be taking people out on the beach from 11 until 2 pm this Saturday. The weather should be beautiful and the tide is going way way out (it’s a -3 at 12:30), so there’ll be lots of creepy crawlies exposed. […]

There are two types of oyster eater: those who are born loving oysters, and those who grow into the taste. For one local dog, the oyster epiphany came last Saturday at an informal campfire gathering in Lilliwaup. Since puppyhood Area Dog has lived on Hood Canal, but this was the first time he’d expressed interest […]
